I always look forward to W*H*I*T*E WEDNESDAY - Hosted by Kathleen of Faded Charm... Even though I'm surrounded by lots of ChiPPy-WHiTe in our home ~ sometimes, I dig into my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! S*T*A*S*H and ever changing Show Stock...

With the garden season upon us,

I dug these beauties out-of-hiding,

along with the "extra-tall" ChiPPy-WHiTe

ViNtaGe Watering Can...

SHaBBy ShoPPers were greeted with a Taste Of S*P*R*I*NG

as they rounded the corner of the GaRaGe!*!*!

Waiting for the 8 am OpeNinG!*!*!

I was very pleased to "SEE" such a good number of **ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Die-Hard ShoPPers** braving the early morning 32 degree temperatures... Customers came not only from the Wisconsin area - but Illinois & Michigan as well...

With weather concerns in APRIL,

we always start the Selling Season **In-The-GaRaGe**

During the "warm weather months" it evolves into

**RoadSide Tent S*A*L*E*S**

I always have a "Holding Area" for ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! ShoPPers

whose arms get Toooooo Full!*!*!

I can't THANK my ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! CHECK-OUT CREW Enough!!!
